"[I] know strong bg play when I see it. This app is the strongest iPhone bg app I've played with by far. It does not cheat period. ...Analyzing these matches with eXtreme Gammon confirms a world class level of play with normal luck factors. If you are losing, get over it. So would 99.9% of the other backgammon players in the world. It is just that good. Learn from it." -Richard Munitz, Giant of Backgammon, #21 world ranking in 2009

Good but no option for cube beaver

nikol2020 on

Greece

Quiet strong player. Very nice interface on iPhone. My main gripe is that when doubling the cube it doesn't offer "beaver" option (immediate redouble while retaining the cube). Without the ability to beaver, you cannot really explore cube decisions in backgammon.

Good for warm-up if you do not mind being cheated

Having played over 700 games: Better than most of the IOS BG games. Very difficult to beat so you do not get bored. Of course it cheats 1/2 to 2/3 of the time knowing the throws in advance. Also dice order is not random. There is a certain pattern. In order to win you must play half of the game randomly. The problem is which half. You learn how to beat the software knowing that it cheats. I would suggest to the developer to at least give the same chances to the player . Sometimes it is so obvious it gets frustrating. The most frustrating part is entering from the bar. Statistics do not tell the whole story. You may get the same statistics but the software always enters from the bar and hits and the player either doesn't enter or doesn't hit. It is part of knowing the dice PATTERN (not necessarily throws) in advance

Crap.

Predefined games. No random dice rolls.statistically fair but the dice distribution is far but random in hard & expert levels. Never been more sorry for money spent on App Store.

Είναι πράγματι χρήσιμο για να γεμίζεις την άδεια ώρα σου. Γί αυτό δεν μπορώ να καταλάβω γιατί τόσο υποκειμενικό πάιξιμο στο υψηλότερο επίπεδο. Οι κατασκευαστές του παιχνιδιού εμπνεύστηκαν από τη διφήμηση του 11888 (εξάρες...); Επίσης, για ποιό λόγο δεν ανεβάζουν το πλακωτό και το φεύγα;

αρκετά καλό...

στο ανώτερο επίπεδο, όντως κλέβει το προγραμμα... γενικά όμως αρκετά καλό και χρήσιμο...

Το καλύτερο Τάβλι για το iPhone

Με δυνατότητα να σου υποδείξει την ισχυρότερη κίνηση και άνα πάσα στιγμή μπορείς να μπεις στο μενού και να δεις ποια, σε σχέση με την ιδανική(100%) είναι η απόδοση σου στο τρέχον παιχνίδι ή και στο σύνολο των παιχνιδιών!! Τώρα αν κάποιοι που νομίζετε ότι παίζετε ιδανικά, δείτε 60-70 % όχι, δεν είναι λάθος αλλά η πικρή αλήθεια...καρατσεκαρισμένο δυστυχώς..! Επίσης το πρόγραμμα αναβαθμίζεται τακτικά κ ήδη έχει αποκτήσει επί πλέον δυνατότητες που το καθιστούν πραγματικό εργαλείο εκπαίδευσης ταβλαδόρων!! Στην τελευταία αναβάθμιση με on-line μέσω Game Center έγινε και το καλύτερο on-line τάβλι για το iPhone. Αξίζει πολύ παραπάνω από αυτά που κοστίζει!!
